re: And the last time that taxes where increased before that the rich paid a lot more extra dollars than the poor or middle class did. And they should, they get by far the greatest benefit from our society... where most all contribute. re: If increases hits cost the rich more than the poor or middle class than cuts should help the rich more. Either that or you have a choice between 1 - Taxes almost never changing, or 2 - Taxes for the rich staying on a continually increasing trend until eventually they reach 100% or you decide that its ok for tax cuts to help out the rich more than everyone else. That's crap, a straw man. Taxes on the rich are decreasing. Taxes %'s have decreased dramatically for the rich in the last 30 years. And the divide between rich and poor continues to increase... a bad formula for the future. re: When the rich are paying thousands of times more in taxes then the poor there benefit from the cuts should be thousands of times bigger. If the rich where paying a lower percentage then the poor you might have a point, even more so if they where paying less dollars per person then the poor, but neither one of those is close to being true, quite the opposite. We are in this together... the rich make their money from the labor of the middle and lower class. You want to tax the poor past subsistence, where they are right now... what a charming sentiment. re: "Soak the rich" is a rather anti-libertarian idea. "Soak the rich", LOL. Have you seen any statistics about the rich, you asshole? Have you seen any statistics about the poor, asshole? I hate guys like you that don't give a damn about real working people. All you care about is yourself; screw your fellow man. Forget it. You have no value in this society. Not worth another post.
